Fuckery!

Loaded up FF this morning... ALL my bookmarks are gone.

just wait for all of your add-ons to not work too

They broke my grease monkey too

bookmarks is one thing, but don't be blaming FF on the add-ons and such not working.

I'll blame who ever I want!

i don't know if an update actually touches this folder or not, but have you checked your profiles folder to see if they are there?

%appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

Look in there for the bookmarkbacups folder

If you installed the beta, then it is a separate install and probably has a separate bookmark file.

Aye, all your profile settings, bookmarks, and add-ons should be in there.

If you get it all fixed up Zark, try MozBackup.

On a related note, why is it that I can't import a bookmarks file to a new FF install that I exported from an old FF install? New OS, new FF, when I select Import it just asks if I want to import from IE! I tried placing said bookmarks file in the correct location (delete and rename, etc.) and it simply over-wrote it.

?

Whenever I do a re-install, or move to a new comp, I just drop my old bookmark.html file on my desktop. I open them from there then re-add one at a time. I tend to build up some clutter, so this helps get rid of it.

they're not there...

I had that happen once too. Not in the backups folder, nowhere in my profile. The only bookmarks.html file on my hd was a brand new one. >=\

I've since started backing them up to another drive regularly.

my bookmarks date back from 1995...i would be pissed if i was a moron...

Maybe for some weird reason your firefox user profile changed. Close firefox if it's open, and go to start> run > type "firefox.exe -ProfileManager" and choose a different profile.

i recommend FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2109 you can backup all your extensions/themes/bookmarks/settings/etc and have automatically create backups at scheduled intervals

Also look for a bookmarks.bak in your profile directory.
